What size computer monitor are you guys using?

Right now I have a 17" LCD monitor I am using with my computer. I just ordered a new computer through Dell and ordered the 24" HD monitor. That is a really big jump in monitor size.

I was just wondering what size monitor everyone else here is using. Now this would be for desktops unless you have an external monitor for your laptop.

22" Viewsonic. Had a 19" before that and didn't think it would be much of a difference but it really is.

I'm looking at a 22" HP w2207 monitor sitting on my desk. As compared to other monitors in this size it has a much clearer picture and if I watch movies on it, it doesn't wash out like most. Colors are more intense on this monitor as compared to others. So far, I like mine but going from a 17" to a 24" is like going from a small TV to IMAX. Yer gonna love it!

22" Widescreen LG. I don't know how I ever got by without it. It's a perfect size.

22" widescreen at home. I wanted to go 24" but just could not quite fit one into my cabinet/hide a desk.

At work, I plug a 19" Dell into my laptop.

The 17" on this Toshiba laptop. I'm telling you, this is the last Windows based machine I'll ever buy. I'm buying an Apple next time.

Both of my computers with Vista lock-up at least once a day when I have Internet Explorer running.

Went from a 17" square to a 22" W. After a day or so I was already used to it - don't know why I didn't change it up sooner
